113374-4 Telephone 01422 822282 9
B. UNPACKING/SETTING UP
Remove protective shipping material (i.e., plastic wrap and/or optional shipping box) from dryer.
IMPORTANT: The dryer must be transported and handled in an upright position at ALL times.
The dryer can be moved to its final location while still attached to the skid
or with the skid removed. To unskid the dryer, locate and remove the four
(4) lag bolts securing the base of the dryer to the wooden skid. Two (2) are
at the rear base, and two (2) are located in the bottom of the lint chamber.
To remove the two (2) lag bolts located in the lint chamber area, remove
the front panel.
1. Leveling Dryer
To level the dryer, place 4-inch (10.16 cm) square metal shims or
other suitable material under the base pads. It is suggested that the
dryer be tilted slightly to the rear (refer to the illustration on right).

e. Lift the console (module) off of the dryer base.
IMPORTANT: The dryer must be transported and handled in an upright position at ALL times.
10 JLA Limited 113374-4
C. DRYER ENCLOSURE REQUIREMENTS
Even though a 12-inch (30.48 cm) clearance is acceptable, it is recommended that the rear of the dryer be positioned
approximately 24-inches (60.96 cm) from the nearest obstruction (i.e., wall) for ease of installation, maintenance, and
service. Bulkheads and partitions should be made from noncombustible materials. The clearance between the bulkhead
header and the dryer must be a minimum of 4-inches (10.16 cm) and must not extend more than 4-inches (10.16 cm) to
the rear of the front. A 2-inch (5.08 cm) clearance is required between the bulkhead facing and the top of the dryer.
NOTE: Bulkhead facing should not be installed until after the dryer is in place. Ceiling area must be located
a minimum of 12-inches (30.48 cm) above the dryer top console (module).
NOTE: When fire sprinkler systems are located above the dryers, a minimum of 18-inches (45.72 cm) above
the dryer console (module) is required. Dryers may be positioned sidewall to sidewall, however, 1 or
2-inches (2.54 or 5.08 cm) is suggested for ease of installation and maintenance. Allowances must be
made for the opening and closing of the control door and the lint door.
D. FRESH AIR SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS
When the dryer is operating, it draws in room air, heats it, passes this air through the basket (tumbler), and exhausts it out
of the building. Therefore, the room air must be continually replenished from the outdoors. If the make-up air is
inadequate, drying time and drying efficiency will be adversely affected. Ignition problems and sail switch “fluttering”
problems may result, as well as premature motor failure from overheating. The dryer must be installed with provisions
for adequate combustion and make-up air supply.
Air supply (make-up air) must be given careful consideration to ensure proper performance of each dryer. An unrestricted
source of air is necessary for each dryer. As a general rule, an unrestricted air entrance from the outdoors (atmosphere)
of a minimum of 350 square inches (2258.1 square cm) is required for each gas dryer (based on 1 square inch per 1000
Btus).
113374-4 Telephone 01422 822282 11
To compensate for the use of registers or louvers used over
the openings, this make-up air must be increased by
approximately thirty-three percent (33%). Make-up air
openings should not be located in an area directly near where
exhaust vents exit the building.
It is not necessary to have a separate make-up air opening
for each dryer. Common make-up air openings are acceptable.
However, they must be set up in such a manner that the
make-up air is distributed equally to ALL the dryers.
EXAMPLE: For a bank of four (4) dryers, two (2) unrestricted
openings measuring 26-inches by 26.9-inches (66.1 cm by
68.4 cm) each are acceptable.
Allowances must be made for remote or constricting
passageways or where dryers are located at excessive
altitudes or predominantly low pressure areas.
IMPORTANT: Make-up air must be provided from a source free of dry cleaning solvent fumes. Make-up
air that is contaminated by dry cleaning solvent fumes will result in irreparable damage to the
motors and other dryer components.
NOTE: Component failure due to dry cleaning solvent fumes will VOID THE WARRANTY.
E. EXHAUST REQUIREMENTS
1. General Exhaust Ductwork Information
Exhaust ductwork should be designed and installed by a qualified professional. Improperly sized ductwork will
create excessive back pressure which results in slow drying, increased use of energy, overheating of the dryer, and
shutdown of the burner by the airflow (sail) switches, burner hi-limits, or basket (tumbler) hi-heat thermostats. The
dryer must be installed with a proper exhaust duct connection to the outside.
CAUTION: This dryer produces combustible lint and must be exhausted to the outdoors.
CAUTION: IMPROPERLY SIZED OR INSTALLED EXHAUST DUCTWORK CAN CREATE A
POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD.
NOTE: When dryers are exhausted into a multiple (common) exhaust line, each dryer must be supplied with a
back draft damper.
The ductwork should be laid out in such a way that the ductwork travels as directly as possible to the outdoors with
as few turns as possible. Single or independent dryer venting is recommended.
A = 26-Inches (66.1 cm) B = 26.9-Inches (68.4 cm)
12 JLA Limited 113374-4
When single dryer venting is used, the ductwork from the dryer to the outside exhaust outlet should not exceed 20
feet (6.09 meters). In the case of multiple (common) dryer venting, the distance from the last dryer to the outside
exhaust outlet should not exceed 20 feet (6.09 meters). The shape of the ductwork is not critical as long as the
minimum cross-sectional area is provided. It is suggested that the use of 90º turns be avoided; use 30º and/or 45º
bends/angles instead. The radius of the elbows should preferably be 1-1/2 times the diameter of the duct. Excluding
basket (tumbler)/dryer elbow connections or elbows used for outside protection from the weather, no more than two
(2) elbows should be used in the exhaust duct run. If more than two (2) elbows are used, the cross-sectional area
of the ductwork must be increased in proportion to the number of elbows used.
ALL ductwork should be smooth inside with no projections from sheet metal screws or other obstructions, which
will collect lint. When adding ducts, the duct to be added should overlap the duct to which it is to be connected. ALL
ductwork joints must be taped to prevent moisture and lint from escaping into the building. Inspection doors should
be installed at strategic points in the exhaust ductwork for periodic inspection and cleaning of lint from the ductwork.
IMPORTANT: Exhaust back pressure measured by a manometer in the exhaust duct must be no less than 0
and must not exceed 0.3 inches (0.74 mb) of water column (W.C.).
NOTE: When the exhaust ductwork passes through a wall, ceiling, or roof made of combustible materials, the
opening must be 2-inches (5.08 cm) larger than the duct (all the way around). The duct must be
centered within this opening.
Outside Ductwork Protection
To protect the outside end of the horizontal ductwork from the weather, a 90° elbow bent downward should be
installed where the exhaust exits the building. If the ductwork travels vertically up through the roof, it should be
protected from the weather by using a 180° turn to point the opening downward. In either case, allow at least twice
the diameter of the duct between the duct opening and the nearest obstruction.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT use screens, louvers, or caps on the outside opening of the exhaust ductwork.
2. Single Dryer Venting
Where possible, it is suggested to provide a separate exhaust duct for each dryer. The exhaust duct should be laid
out in such a way that the ductwork travels as directly as possible to the outdoors with as few turns as possible. It
is suggested that the use of 90° turns in the ducting be avoided; use 30° and/or 45° angles instead. The shape of the
exhaust ductwork is not critical as long as the minimum cross section area is provided.
IMPORTANT: The minimum duct size for a gas unit is 16-inches (40.64 cm) for a round duct and
14-1/4” x 14-1/4” (36.2 cm x 36.2 cm) for a square duct. THE DUCT SIZE MUST NOT
BE REDUCED ANYWHERE DOWNSTREAM OF THE DRYER.
113374-4 Telephone 01422 822282 13
IMPORTANT: Exhaust back pressure measured by a manometer at each basket (tumbler) exhaust duct area
must be no less than 0 and must not exceed 0.3 inches (0.74 mb) of water column (W.C.).
It is suggested that the ductwork from each dryer not exceed 20 feet (6.09 meters) with no more than two (2)
elbows (excluding dryer connections). If the ductwork exceeds 20 feet (6.09 meters) or has numerous elbows, the
cross-sectional area of the ductwork must be increased in proportion to the length and number of elbows in it. In
calculating duct size, the cross-sectional area of a square or rectangular duct must be increased twenty percent
(20%) for each additional 20 feet (6.09 meters). The diameter of a round exhaust duct should be increased ten
percent (10%) for each additional 15 feet (4.57 meters). Each 90º elbow is equivalent to an additional 40 feet (12.19
meters), and each 45º elbow is equivalent to an additional 20 feet (6.09 meters).
IMPORTANT: For extended ductwork runs, the cross section area of the ductwork can only be increased to
an extent. Maximum proportional ductwork runs cannot exceed 20 feet (6.09 meters) more
than the original limitations of 20 feet (6.09 meters) with two (2) elbows. When the ductwork
approaches the maximum limits as noted in this manual, a professional heating, ventilating, and
air-conditioning (HVAC) firm should be consulted for proper venting information.
ALL ductwork should be smooth inside with no projections from sheet metal screws or other obstructions, which
will collect lint. When adding ducts, the duct to be added should overlap the duct to which it is to be connected. ALL
ductwork joints must be taped to prevent moisture and lint from escaping into the building. Inspection doors should
be installed at strategic points in the exhaust ductwork for periodic inspection and cleaning of lint from the ductwork.
NOTE: When the exhaust ductwork passes through a wall, ceiling, or roof made of combustible materials, the
opening must be 2-inches (5.08 cm) larger than the duct (all the way around). The duct must be
centered within this opening.
14 JLA Limited 113374-4
3. Multiple Dryer (Common) Venting
If it is not feasible to provide separate exhaust ducts for each dryer, ducts from individual dryers may be channeled
into a “common main duct.” The individual ducts should enter the bottom or side of the main duct at an angle not
more than 45° in the direction of the flow and should be spaced at least 46-inches (116.84 cm) apart. The main
duct should be tapered, with the diameter increasing before each individual 16-inch (40.54 cm) duct is added.
IMPORTANT: When exhausted into a multiple (common) exhaust line, a back draft damper must be installed
at each dryer duct.
IMPORTANT: No more than three (3) dryers should be connected to one (1) main common duct.
The main duct may be any shape or cross-sectional area, as long as the minimum cross section area is provided. The
illustration above shows the minimum cross section area for multiple dryer round or square venting. These figures
must be increased 10 square inches (64.52 square centimeters) when rectangular main ducting is used, and the
ratio of duct width to depth should not be greater than 3-1/2 to 1. These figures must be increased in proportion
if the main duct run to the last dryer to where it exhausts to the outdoors is unusually long (over 20 feet [6.09
meters]) or has numerous elbows (more than two [2]) in it. In calculating ductwork size, the cross-sectional area of
a square or rectangular duct must be increased twenty percent (20%) for each additional 20 feet (6.09 meters).
The diameter of a round exhaust must be increased ten percent (10%) for each additional 20 feet (6.09 meters).
Each 90° elbow is equivalent to an additional 40 feet (12.19 meters) and each 45° elbow is equivalent to an additional
20 feet (6.09 meters).

IMPORTANT: For extended ductwork runs, the cross section area of the ductwork can only be increased to
an extent. Maximum proportional ductwork runs cannot exceed 20 feet (6.09 meters) more
than the original limitations of 20 feet (6.09 meters) with two (2) elbows. When the ductwork
approaches the maximum limits as noted in this manual, a professional heating, ventilating, and
air-conditioning (HVAC) firm should be consulted for proper venting information.
IMPORTANT: Exhaust back pressure measured by a manometer in the exhaust duct must be no less than 0
and must not exceed 0.3 inches (0.74 mb) of water column (W.C.).
The ductwork should be smooth inside with no projections from sheet metal screws or other obstructions, which
will collect lint. When adding ducts, the duct to be added should overlap the duct to which it is to be connected. ALL
ductwork joints must be taped to prevent moisture and lint from escaping into the building. Inspection doors should
be installed at strategic points in the exhaust ductwork for periodic inspection and cleaning of lint from the ductwork.
NOTE: When the exhaust ductwork passes through a wall, ceiling, or roof made of combustible materials, the
opening must be 2-inches (5.08 cm) larger than the duct (all the way around). The duct must be
centered within this duct.

3. Electrical Connections
NOTE: A wire diagram is included with each dryer and is affixed to the back side of the top control (access)
door.
The only electrical input connections to the dryer are the 3-phase
(3ø) power leads (L1, L2, and L3), GROUND, and in the case of 4
wire service, the NEUTRAL. These electrical connections are made
at the terminal block located in the service/relay box at the rear, upper
left hand corner of the dryer. To gain access into this service box,
the service cover must be removed.
The “LINE POWER” and the “GROUND” connections to the dryer
must be made through the knockout hole at the top of the electric
service/relay box. A strain relief must be used where the line power
ground wires go into the electric service/relay box.
